Basic schedule for A2 Work

Research and planning	Research and planning commenced soon after we arrived back at school to start our A2 work. This was not long after we finished our exams. We were to research the industries that our coursework was to be based around and also analyse pieces of media related to what we wanted to create. For example I would go on to analyse James Blake’s music videos because I am going to use one of his songs for my own music video, looking at theorists and their ideas – and more. It also includes things such as planning my own production. Work such as my proposal, coming up with ideas and location recces are also included.	Started in July – ended 28th September
Production - filming	First filming in the house – bedroom and downstairs kitchen area	20th September 2014 – 21st September 2014
	Filming in Belmont downs area	27th September 2014
	Last possible filming in house – any last bits which might need filming	18th October 2014 (may not be needed)
Post production – editing	Edit the first version of my music video.	29th September – 17th October 2014
	Edit the second version of my music video if there is one – this will be if I’m not happy with the first attempt.	18th October – 31st October 2014
Research and analysis of sub-tasks, digipak album design and digipak magazine advertisement.	Here I will conduct more focused research onto my subtasks and analyse real examples and use ideas from theorists, much like I did for my main task.	Some parts will be completed in the original July to 28th September timeframe, but I will pick it up again seriously after the second edited music video is completed. 1st November to 10th November 2014
Produce sub-tasks digipak design and magazine advertisement	First I will create my digipak design, as the magazine advert would not have a clear image or direction if it wasn’t able to advertise the front cover of the digipak.	11th November to 15th November 2014
	Produce magazine advert for digipak	16th November to 20th November 2014
Evaluate my A2 coursework		21st November to 17th December 2014
